Rajendra Teredesai is one of the foremost ganda-bandh disciples of the most celebrated and internationally acclaimed flute maestro of all times—PadmavIbhushan Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia.
He belongs to the grand musical heritage of the hallowed Beenkaar Maihar Gharana, founded by Acharya Ustad Baba Allauddin Khansaheb, one of the greatest multifaceted musical geniuses of the 20th century.
Rajendra Teredesai beautifully blends the most significant aesthetic and technical aspects of the gayaki and gatkaari ang of Indian classical instrumental music, combining it with a rich, sonorously soothing tone and immaculate blowing technique.
Rajendra Teredesai’s style also vividly displays an overpowering and unmistakable influence of the meditative, expansive profundity, of Ustad Amir Khan Saheb’s gayaki. He also draws influence from musical legend PT. Nikhil Banerjee. Although having assimilated to these authentic and deep rooted influences, Rajendra endeavours to present his music with a distinctive individuality that is uniquely his own, which reveals itself in its shimmering emotive magnificence.
Rajendra is a graded radio artiste and has performed extensively in major music festivals, sangeet mahotsavs and sammelans in India and abroad. Rajendra Teredesai has toured extensively to several countries and continents including Europe, U.S.A., Canada, Middle East & South East Asia, and played jugalbandis and world music concerts with the santoor, sitar, violin, mandolin, guitar, jaltarang, piano and ghatam, to appreciative audiences worldwide. He is also a visiting faculty and guest performer to prestigious foreign universities and music conservatories.
